z deejays speaking out for the first time. cecilia vega is in sydney with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. they say this was supposed to be a simple, harmless prank that lasted no more than 30 seconds. they thought they would be hung up on immediately. we all know that is far from what happened. >> personally i'm -- >> reporter: the two australian deejays behind the phony phone call came out of hiding overnight. offering a tearful apology to the family of the nurse. >> shattered, gutted, heart broken. incredibly sorry for this situation and what's happened. >> there's not a minute that goes by that we don't think about her family and what they must be going through. the thought that we may have played a part in that is --

>> hello, there, could i please speak to kate, please, my granddaughter. >> oh, yes, hold on, ma'am. >> reporter: they said they never imagined they would get through to the hospital where kate middleton was rekefri inre from severe morning sickness. they never could have predicted that days later, skra sin that is -- jacintha saldanha would be found dead of an apparent suicide. >> we both found out about the same time. i think it was -- >> the worst phone call i have ever had in my life. >> reporter: the global backlash has been fierce. the radio station announced it's banning phonemy phone calls altogether and suspending advertising indefinitely.

the team is off the air. one final thing to say. >> i wanted to reach out to them and give them a big hug and say, sorry. i hope they're okay. i really do. >> reporter: higher ups at the station made the final decision to air the call. lawyers were involved in that. not once in this interview did the deejays express reservation about airing their prank. >> let's get more from dan abrams. no reservations about the prank. clearly, they dinlt mean this would happen. had no guilty intent. will that shield them from prosecution? >> probably. there is a technical violation. using a listening device and broadcasting that tape. maybe a fine. i don't think there will be serious prosecution here because it would be very tough to link the actual death to the prank. now you can link it as a moral matter. but as a legal matter, there

needs to be a level of foreseeab foreseeablety. >> you have to look at it separately. look at the prank. the question comes, was the prank a legal violation? putting it entirely separate from the death? you can ask the question, was the prank a violation? the answer is, i'm sure they'll be able to find a technical one. same thing would happen here, by the way. if something like this happened here, everyone would look for licensing. let's get the rest of the morning's headlines from josh. >> we begin with the fiery plane crash that appears to have taken the life of jen nirks rivera. invest garrets are trying to figure out why the plane vanished from radar moments after taking off. overnight, mexican television aired these grainy images,

believed to be the remains of jenni rivera's lear jet. >> it's such a big shock to the family. >> reporter: her brother, speaking out in los angeles. >> she fought for everything in life. she was a great person. >> reporter: the impact so powerful, debris scattered the length of three football fields. sunday night, hundreds of fans gathered for a candle light vigil in los angeles to mourn her death. rivera had just finished a concert in monterrey. this photo taken by her makeup artist moments before the flight shows rivera and the other passengers. the 43-year-old was born in long beach, california, had rinz to worldwide fame singing mexican

b banda style music. >> when she was on the stage, he reflected what was happening in her life. >> reporter: rivera, a mother of five and grandmother of two had become a crossover tv star, recently joining the abc television family to star in a self-titled television series. overnight, on twitter, an outpouring of grief from pit bull and gloria es tef fa. to ricky martin and eva longoria, who wrote, we lost a legend today. she was set to take part in the voice mexico. she was 43 years old. also breaking overnight, all eyes on north korea on the verge of a possible rocket launch. they planned to send a satellite into orbit as early as today. a glitch forced them to extend

the launch window. growing concern about the health of nelson mandela, who has been in the hospital for three days. officials say the 94-year-old human rights hero is doing well. but that people should keep him in their prayers. gas prices down 11 cents in the past week. they're not stopping there. a gallon now almost 50 cents less than a month ago. we could see rates at $3 a gallon by christmas. the argentinian-born forward lionel messi scored two goals on sunday, bringing the total for the year to 86. by the time he's done, we could be talking about the best to ever play the game. >> all right, josh, thank you so much. now to the latest on the daring rescue mission in afghanistan to free an american doctor held hostage by the taliban. an american hero has died in this operation, a member of the

elite s.e.a.l. team six. martha raddatz has more. >> reporter: this is what the s.e.a.l.s train to do. this raid was more challenging than the one that killed osama bin laden. this time, the goal was to bring back an american hostage alive. it was a bold and dangerous mission. u.s. and afghan special forces including members of the navy's elite sooel team six, raiding a taliban camp saturday night to rescue this man, dilip joseph, an american doctor taken hostage while working for a relief agency. >> difficult terrain, big mountai mountains, very, very dark. lots of training on hostage rescues. until you get in there and do it, you don't know what you're going to find. >> reporter: they moved in by helicopter in darkness. when it bake clear dr. joseph was in imminent danger or may be

moved to pakistan. they had been tracking the american, following his captors to the mountains of eastern afghanistan, where they had hidden him among some small huts. a firefight broke out. several of captors were killed. dr. joseph was one of three aid workers from morning star development captured by militants on wednesday, as they returned from a rural medical clin clinic. two of the workers, believed to be locals, were released saturday. the team felt they could not wait any longer to get dr. joseph. the longer captives were held in the past, the more difficult it became to find them. we turn now to the fiscal cliff. just 22 days before everyone's taxes go up, every government

program is cut. there's a bit of hope that a deal to avoid the consequences could be coming, sparked by the first meeting in weeks between the president and john boehner. jake, what do we know about the meeting? >> reporter: they spoke on the phone on friday and set up a meeting for yesterday. speaker boehner did come here. and though i don't think there's any reason to believe we're really close to a deal, progress has been made, though one side of the talks staaid that that progress is fragile. >> we're getting close to the point, really, by tend of the week, if they're not a lot closer, it might be too hard to do by the end of the year. >> there could be a quick fix solution. republicans agree to keep the tax cuts in place for the 98% of the country. avoid tax cuts for a few month,

go take winter break. that would not be a long-term solution but would avert the fiscal cliff. >> hillary clinton's future, talking about her for 2016, are we any closer, is the president any closer to naming her replacement? >> i don't think that will happen this week. my sources suggest likely next week. the president has not yet made a decision, i'm told, on the key position, secretary of state, secretary of defense, cia director. he wants to unveil it all at the same time, a new national security team. >> thank you, jake. now to the second straight sunday, tragedy overshadowing an nfl game. the dallas cowboys taking the field with heavy hearts the day after player died in a horrific car crash caused by his teammate driving drunk. john schriffen has the story.

jovan belcher shot and hikilled his girlfriend, before turning the gun on himself. this video shows him talking to kansas city police officers. >> how we doing tonight, man? >> reporter: police say they found the 25-year-old asleep in the car. because he wasn't driving and had no visible signs of alcohol with him, there was no reason to arrest him. >> i think sometimes they feel like they're invincible. >> reporter: this morning, after two high-profile deaths, many are wondering if the nfl needs to do more. >> the nfl facing a real moment of crisis. the latest tempest turned up by the singer who released "gangnam style" on the world. he was at a benefit, to perform,

but first, he had to apologize. >> is ththis is a shocker. didn't see this one coming. the author of the "please get this out of my head" dance craze, inspiring gangnam style. he has a controversial past. late sunday, the president and his family mingled with evils and posed in front of a christmas tree at what is usually a festive but unnews worthy christmas in washington event. there was controversy mixed in courtesy of this guy in the red top. he is psy. you know him from the "gangnam style" music video. he made countless americans dance around like drunken horse. he has a history of vitriolic anti-americanism. yes, psy, he's been on every

decide how to rein it all in. >> those were tough words to undo, though. i don't know. >> they were. thanks, dan. let's get to sam. a lot of severe weather out there. >> tornado warnings. watch this morning from the gulf coast all the way up towards jackson. look at this line of snow from lubbock through dallas into north texas. we warned you about that last week. the first part of this week, we would probably get snow in the texas area. that will slow down some travel. over the weekend, the first batch of cold air from the dakot dakotas. the biggest snow they have seen. it's late. it's coming in. that's the biggest snow since two years ago the snowfall took down the superdome, the
